Players should be able to permanently earn their place on the top lines.
they should play for another team if they want that, what do we look like the chicago blackhawks or something

ES is not lazy. Not sure why people think this.
its crazy that malkin n crosby are gonna be most likely under point per game by the end of the season, with all this talent. Everyone on the roster besides fleury is on pace to have their worst season of their career statistically speaking, some by far.
So has Sid... But I guess he's been demoted by getting Duper on his wing again.
Exactly. You can't demote everyone!Then again, so has everyone. Seriously, if you are going to demote Horny, then demote Sid as well, he's not scoring.
Demote Dupuis too, he's not scoring.
Perron? Demoted.
Malkin? He's not setting the world on fire. Demoted.
Letang? Third line paring.
Cole? Pressbox.
Maata? Sweden.
You can roll the dice all day and come up with all kinds of line combos, but until there is a coaching change/or change the system that they play, This has been an ongoing issue. How can some of the top talent in the NHL play so badly, since about the middle of last season? Coaching. Get rid of the coach, or keep shuffling the deck.
Always good to look for the positive, right? Hate to be the pointy elbow kid, but ...
Ya know what...seriously...F it. With Sid playing the way he is...why not:
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Perron-Malkin-Kessel
Bennett-Bonino-Hornqvist
Fehr-Cullen-Sprong/Plotnikov
Send KCD out there...at this point, none of them could go any lower. Then you get 3 other kick buns lines.

#Pens lines at practice:
Dupuis-Crosby-Bennett
Perron-Malkin-Kessel
Kunitz-Bonino-Hornqvist
Fehr-Cullen-Sprong/Plotnikov
Kunitz gots to go to the pressbox. Mind numbing how Sprong is being used. Send him back to Charlottetown if he's the current extra forward. Good ol' Rutherford! [/COLOR]
And, what is with organization attempting to convert players into something they're not?
Megna: "Start throwing your body around."
Tangradi: "You got size; get a little nasty."
Bennett: "You better start playing as a power-forward as well as being more defensively responsible."
Sprong: "Go work on your defensive game while we put you in a limited role."
How about getting players that actually familiar with that role instead of trying to force younger players into it?[/QUOTE
The misuse of Sprong falls on our junior coach. Beginning to think that JR's hands are tied by the owners who may not want to burden a new owner with paying Junior Joe for doing nothing. Hell, we are already paying him for doing nothing!
I'm no great hockey mind but...
Hustle - Crosby - Playmaking
Finishing - Malkin - Finishing
Seems like an idiotic way to put together the top lines. But again, I'm no great hockey mind.
Also, can't believe we're this far into the season and we haven't seen Perron - Crosby - Horny tried yet.
Blah.

Perron is a finisher? Ok.
Drop that gimmick, please. Geno is playing some of his best hockey in my opinions. Two way Geno is playoff Geno. He's domianting and looks great.
The gimmick that the world is falling is so old.
I will drop it... for now. I'm still mad though
It's safe to say that Neal trade was catastrophe
Because he coasts around with his stick at his waist not skating in recent years.

That bottom 9 looks amazing
